4thBDE Roster

Where We Are:
The Fourth Brigade of the STARFLEET MARINE CORPS is made up of 4 states (Battalions) on the West Coast of the United States. This Brigade also includes the island state of Hawaii. They are, by Battalion, Arizona (1st), California (2nd), Hawaii (3rd), Nevada (4th).

Units within the First Brigade can either be Marine Strike Groups or Marine Expeditionary Units.
 * Marine Strike Group (MSG) - The smallest unit in the SFMC is the Marine Strike Group or MSG, the size of which varies considerably depending on the location and membership. The MSG can consist of a single Marine in the case of a new unit or dozens in well-established units. The Marine in command of the MSG, or any SFMC unit, is referred to as the Officer in Charge (OIC), and their second in command is usually termed the Deputy Officer in Charge (DOIC)
 * Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) - Equivalent in organizational size to the strike group, the expeditionary unit’s chain of command is formed by Marines who are not assigned to a STARFLEET chapter. If a STARFLEET chapter leaves STARFLEET, but its strike group wishes to keep its affiliation with the SFMC, it can become a MEU, although it may be required to change its number.

There is no OIC assigned to this Brigade, so there is no declared Brigade HQ.
